http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/883536/posts The link to the Jessica Lynch/Rambo thread. The Washington Post article begins:
Pfc. Jessica Lynch, rescued Tuesday from an Iraqi hospital, fought fiercely and shot several enemy soldiers after Iraqi forces ambushed the Army's 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, firing her weapon until she ran out of ammunition, U.S. officials said yesterday.

I watched or listened to every early morning press briefing from Doha by that extremely professional General Briggs. He never said anything even close to this Washington Post story.
I also agree that Pvt. Lynch is a class act and she is very lucky to be alive, and I'm glad she is telling the truth, but I never heard a single military spokesman ever describe her capture as a wild firefight or a scene from a Rambo movie. The Press blew this out of proportion and they should take the blame, not Jessica Lynch nor the Military
